According to its website, The International Journal of Selection and Assessment publishes original articles related to all aspects of personnel selection, staffing, and assessment in organizations. Using an effective combination of academic research with professional-led best practice, IJSA aims to develop new knowledge and understanding in these important areas of work psychology and contemporary workforce management.
Aims and Scope
International Journal of Selection and Assessment (IJSA) is a quarterly scientific journal that publishes original articles related to all aspects of staffing (including, but not limited to, personnel selection), and assessment in organizations. Papers that contribute new knowledge and understanding in assessment of individual differences, test validation, psychometric measurement, and personnel decision making are appropriate for the journal. Articles can also deal with other aspects of personnel selection/staffing, such as job analysis, recruitment, downsizing, and performance measurement. Other topics appropriate for IJSA include validation; validity generalization; group differences; fairness; bias; adverse impact; predictors; criteria; job performance; counterproductive work behaviors; organizational citizenship behaviors; adjustment; absenteeism; turnover; utility analysis; ability, knowledge, skill and personality measurement; classification; placement; and applicant reactions.
Given IJSAs world-wide audience, cross-cultural investigations are especially welcome. The goal of the IJSA is to publish empirical studies, review articles, and theoretical expositions which make a substantive and original contribution to knowledge. The journal also encourages submissions from practitioners that represent important contributions to the selection and assessment literature in applied psychology, management, and related fields.
Each issue includes the Information Exchange section consisting of (1) short empirical papers reporting reliability and validity evidence for specific measures, normative data for groups of special interest (specific occupational groups, men, women, various national or ethnic groups) etc.; (2) replication studies, including registered replications, (3) illustrations, (4) position papers, and (5) practice reports.
The readership of IJSA is multinational and comprises both academics in staffing and practitioners in organizations. Papers should be written in a style that keeps the needs of both groups in mind.
